Get your keys
- In the Storj console, open Access Keys in the left menu.
- Click New Access Key and choose S3 Credentials as the type.
- Pick the permissions and buckets it may reach, then copy the generated Access Key and Secret Key.
Connect
- Add a new connection and choose the Storj preset.
- Paste the keys. The preset points the connection at Storj’s global gateway, so there is no region to choose.
- Connect.

Good to know
- S3 credentials go through Storj’s hosted gateway. That is the normal way desktop tools talk to Storj; the decentralized-network details stay invisible.
- An access created with limited permissions really is limited: if listing works but uploads fail, re-check the permission boxes ticked when the access was created.
- Large files upload as multiple parts, and Storj performs best with the larger part sizes the app’s preset already configures.
- Buckets and paths behave like standard S3, so search, zip browsing and the transfer queue all work unchanged.
